We extend all tax returns automatically to give you peace of mind.

What's a Tax Extension?

A tax extension gives you more time to file your tax paperwork. Instead of rushing to get everything done by April 15th, you'll have until October 15th to send in your completed tax forms.

But here's the important part: while you get more time to do the paperwork, you don't get more time to pay your taxes. Taxes are still due on the 15th of April.

How Does Payment Work?

Your taxes are still due on April 15th, even with an extension. If you think you'll owe money, you need to send in your best estimate of what you owe by April 15th. We will assist you in providing that number. If you wait until October to pay, you'll have to pay extra in interest and penalties.

Why Do People Get Extensions?

There are many good reasons to get more time to file your taxes:

• You might be waiting for important tax documents to arrive
• Your tax situation might be complicated
• Life events might make it hard to focus on taxes right now
• You want to make sure everything is done right

Will Getting an Extension Cause Problems?

Not at all! The IRS created extensions because they know taxes can be complicated. They'd rather have you take more time and get everything right than rush and make mistakes. Getting an extension is completely normal and won't raise any red flags.

The Bottom Line

A tax extension gives you breathing room to get your paperwork done right. Just remember - while you have until October to file your forms, you still need to pay what you think you owe by April 15th.

At Jalada, we handle your extension automatically. This way, you can focus on gathering the right information without worrying about missing the April deadline.
